Louisville’s First Friday Derby Hop and Opening Reception!

Please join us this Friday, April 2nd, from 5-9pm for the Opening Reception of The Hand-Printed Art of Cricket Press. Cricket Press is a Lexington-based studio that designs and hand prints silk-screened posters for music events, art openings, propaganda and more. Meet the artists, Brian and Sara Turner, for a signing of their recently published first book, The Hand-Printed Art of Cricket Press at the opening!

Co-presented by the American Poster Institute (API) and SXSW, Flatstock 24 will display the works of more than 100 artists from across North America and the globe. Posters representing decades of styles, colors and techniques will be on display and for sale as well as additional merchandise. Show up early and be ready to be overwhelmed with amazing posters. (You might want to bring some dough since you won’t want to leave empty handed!) The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Austin Convention Center Level 1, Exhibit Hall 1
Schedule:

• Thurs. 3/18
  1:00pm - 6:00pm

Our signing at the Morris Book Shop was a fantastic success and we were totally flattered at the crowds of fine folks who came out to support us! We nearly sold out of all the books we had on-hand. Here are some photos of the evening:

Special thanks to everyone at the Morris Book Shop, everyone who stopped by and said hi, Mick for Djing with awesome power, and Alison Kerr who took most of these photos and allowed us to use them here. It was a great time!

Hey Lexingtonians!
To coincide with our book signing at The Morris Book Shop this Friday the 13th, Cricket Press will also have our posters and cards-sets available during the event.

Most excitedly, we currently discovered some lost stock of previously sold-out posters! Some…real old gems! These were posters used for display at art fairs or sent away to be part of art exhibits and never returned to our regular stock. We are going to make these posters available for sale this Friday at The Morris Book Shop as a Forgotten Stock Event! There is a VERY limited number of some of these posters…so come by early!

6-8pm

We are proud to present our first book called The Hand-Printed Art of Cricket Press! The book is a 154-page collection of our gig posters and art-prints through the years 2003-2009 with a wonderful intro written by Lexington’s own Matt Jordon of You Ain’t No Picasso.

The release party for our book will be Friday Nov. 13th (6-8pm) at The Morris Book Shop.

Brian and I will be there signing books…along with showcasing our current stock of gig-posters, art-prints, and holiday cards!

Stop by and say Hi!
